My general way to do this is to edit the changelog, and set the debian version to customX i.e. My custom package of qt based on 2.2.3-1 is set to 2.2.3-custom1 This way, you can easily do a dpkg -l | grep custom and see what custom packs you have, and apt will never overwrite them unless a newer upstream version is released.
